Dancing for Money lyrics

A F#m
When I ask you for a light
You don't turn the lights out
A F#m
When I'm looking for a fight
You don't punch my lights out
E A D
Sometimes they say
Love is invincible
E A D
I wouldn't go as far as to say that
E A D
One thing I know
One thing is certain honey
E D
We're not dancing for money ooo oooo
When I ask you for a buck
You don't call me deer
When I try to push my luck
You don't twist my ear
Sometimes when I'm blind drunk I see it all
But I can't do anything about it
I fall on my face And jerk like a puppet honey
Just like dancing for money (then) INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
Familiarity breeds contempt
So I turn off the radio
From life's pain I'm not exempt
I'm just lucky I can go
Some other place
Where there's a sun up high
Right in my face
For once in a lifetime
I'm not a slave, I'm not a captain honey
I'm not dancing for money
E A D
I'm not a slave
I'm not a captive
E A D
I'm not in chains
Or nailed to a cross
E A D
One thing's for sure
One thing is certain honey
E D E D
I'm not dancing for money
I'm not dancing for money
A D
Oooh not dancing for money (4 times)
